If you are just getting started with collecting compacts, this is a nice starter book. It breaks down the different categories of compacts (e.g., enamels, novelties, Deco) and gives excellent color examples with good descriptions of what to look for in that category. The small amount of examples also gives a new collector a good foundation for learning about the different makers and styles without getting overwhelmed. If you already have all the other compact books, this one is still worth getting for the pictures and its fresh take on what's out there. There are also nice tips on maintaining and caring for your compacts.

Great little booklet at 64 pages, with information on compacts ranging from 1920's through to 1990's. I found this really useful as there is plenty of information on different types and styles plus a section on caring for compacts.

Good for the compact collector who is establishing a collection.
